Hi- I'm a Matney researcher (Mattingly-Matheny) We have one Broadwater Matney in our family we need more info on - He's from Tazewell County VA, near Scott County. We know the first name Broadwater comes from the surname but have not been able to connect him with the Broadwater family. The first Broadwater can be found on the net in St. Mary County MD as Hugh Broadwater, transported before 1664 from England, a servant. In the Revolutionary War, a family of Broadwaters were in the American Navy and mentioned often in the The Virginia Navy which can be found on Ancestry. Several of the sons of Broadwater Matney came to Oregon from MO - Walter came on the 1843 wagon train, Carrel and James came later, another son Elisha also came to Oregon but went back to MO, AR and finally settled in TX. There is a town in Montana named Broadwater for a "Col. Broadwater" who settled that town after the Civil War, I believe there is also a Broadwater County. I think you will find there are a lot of Broadwaters in the country. There were a lot of them in MD - 3 cemeteries in St. Mary County have Broadwaters. You'll have to check it out. I'm interested in the Broadwaters in Scott County VA.
